We had a great trip “up North” over the weekend, including seeing lots of cousins at the reunion. We were especially blessed to see Judy, M-in-L’s neighbor, who dropped over Saturday. While you’re saying your prayers, please include her. She’s a tough gal, but she’s having more than her share of challenges these days. There … Read more

It never rained all weekend, very unusual for a festival in Michigan. I believe this and MayFest go on record as being the only dry festivals so far this summer. OK, … Read more

Lex is packed, kind of, I have to finish this morning. I got my eyes checked, and needed new glasses. They’ll be here soon. … Read more
I was looking for some lunch yesterday. I opened the fridge, and cleaned it. That’s right, I couldn’t find anything to eat, so I threw what I had out. I removed everything, and I scrubbed. I put back the stuff that was OK to eat. Then it was almost dinner time. Since the fridge was … Read more
